Over the course of the past 28 years, the New England Patriots developed into one of the NFL’s premiere, model franchises.
At front and center, we already know about the stability of the head coach and quarterback for most of it.
However, one position has held stability for far longer and for almost the majority of Robert Kraft’s 28 years of team ownership.
For 26 of the last 28 years, the Patriots have primarily had only three starting kickers, Adam Vinatieri, Stephen Gostkowski, and Nick Folk.
The story of Folk continuing this run of Patriots kicker success was unlikely and almost didn’t even happen.
